    "A #Latino #CivilRightsGroup filed a lawsuit Sept. 10 aimed at keeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of polling places at the upcoming #MidtermElections, saying sending #ArmedForces to U.S. polling places will 'intimidate voters.'

    "The lawsuit, filed by the League of United #LatinAmerican Citizens ( #LULAC ), follows Department of Homeland Security Secretary #MarkwayneMullin stating ICE officers can go to polling places across the United States. Mullin said ICE officers will go to polling places in response to 'specific threats' or to serve a warrant.

    "Critics say Mullin’s policy is aimed at intimidating voters, will upend longstanding American norms, and violate a law keeping armed forces out of polling places that dates back to the end of the Civil War."

  5. Postal Service Rule Could Bar Millions From #VotingByMail

    A judge temporarily blocked the agency from refusing to deliver ballots in #noncompliant states, which could disproportionately affect #Democrats and many battleground elections.

    By Reid J. Epstein, Aug. 30, 2026

    Excerpt: "Voting by mail would become much more difficult, if not impossible, for tens of millions of Americans if the #USPostalService is allowed to implement a restrictive rule governing mail voting that President Trump has demanded.

    "The effects would likely be greater for #DemocraticVoters, who vote by mail in higher numbers than #Republicans, and in states where mail voting is universal or nearly so. #MailVoting may not happen at all in states that resist the #Trump administration’s demands for #VoterData .

    "The rule would particularly affect people in #rural areas and #OlderVoters, who tend to cast ballots by mail in greater numbers. It could also deeply affect states where some of the most competitive races for House, Senate and governor will determine control of Congress and state governments.

    " #Michigan, where 37 percent of votes were cast by mail in 2022, would be one epicenter, with hard-fought statewide contests and multiple battleground House races. #California, which mails ballots to all voters, is expected to be central to Democratic efforts to win a majority in the House.

    "The rule is being challenged in several lawsuits, and it is on hold temporarily following a federal judge’s ruling on Thursday. The administration is appealing. Even if the Postal Service is permitted to proceed, it is unclear that it would have time to implement the plan ahead of an election that is fewer than 70 days away.

    "For instance, the rule requires states to upload a list of voters to a federal mail ballot portal that is not yet online. Nearly two dozen Democratic-led states and #WashingtonDC , have sued to block the proposed rule and said they will not comply with it.

    "If the agency were to move ahead, state and local officials would shoulder enormous costs in what would need to be a herculean effort to prepare election offices and educate voters in time for the midterm elections in November.

    "The most dramatic aspect of the proposed rule is a plan to deny services for election mail entirely in states that do not turn over #VoterData, which federal officials say they want to use to identify noncitizens on state #VoterRolls. The policy would upend mail voting in any state that does not comply, but the effects would be measurably greater in the smaller number of states that rely heavily on mail voting.

    "More than one in three Democrats voted by mail in 2024, compared with about one in four Republicans, according to estimates by the States United Democracy Center, which examined voting data in 32 states where it was available.

    " 'It’s not that complicated,' said Marc Elias, the Democratic election lawyer, who said the new policy was a blatant effort to disenfranchise Democrats. 'The administration knows that Democrats are more likely to vote by mail than Republicans. Donald Trump has demonized voting by mail and made that differential even greater.' "

  6. Republican nominee for #Maine governor says he wants #ICEAgents at #Polling places in the state

    The Maine Democratic Party criticized the idea as likely illegal and an attempt to intimidate voters.

    by PATRICK WHITTLE and MATT BROWN,
    August 26, 2026

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — "Maine’s Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall’s midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

    "During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask #TomHoman, the White House #BorderCzar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before #ElectionDay. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

    " 'Here’s my secret,; Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. 'I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Tom’s an awesome guy.'

    " 'I’m going to ask Tom, I’m going to actually — three or four weeks before the election, maybe three — I’m going to make an appeal for ICE and #USMarshals to be at our voting booths,' Charles said, according to the audio."

  12. Bannon Calls for ICE to Engage in Voter Intimidation During the Midterms

    “You're damn right we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November,” former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said.

  13. "They don't even have to engage in naked voter suppression to meddle in this election. All they have to do is engage in voter intimidation in key swing districts around the country. What does voter intimidation look like? Looks like Donald Trump deciding to send those 3000 ICE agents instead to polling places and saying, look, we're just we're just here to try to find illegal criminals."

  14. "We should stop it with an amendment that prohibits use of funds for any ICE of Border Patrol actions within x yards of a polling place on election day or days. Or, given Trump’s unpredictable tendencies, it could simply prevent ICE activity on election day."

  15. "Why would Trump not order his agents to insist that people show their birth certificates? What’s to stop them? Steve Bannon has said that is exactly the plan.

    This is the last chance to stop this disaster. There will be no further vehicles where Democrats will have any leverage before this election."

  17. "Combine that with the administration’s cavalier attitude toward arresting US citizens and what you have is a recipe where Hispanic voters who are citizens nonetheless avoid the polls for fear they will be brutalized or abducted by ICE."

  18. I remember when the Department of Justice was respected. Because the DoJ now blindly obey the whims of an untrustworthy criminal president:
    "California will deploy its own observers to watch over federal election monitors the Trump administration is sending to the state ahead of the Nov. 4 election":

There's an obsession with signature-matching because it's a tool to eliminate ballots . They're trying to eliminate #EarlyVoting, etc

  21. What iF there was an 18-24yr old group of new voters, let's say 3M of them, & #StateSponsoredMalware was used to ' force a vote a certain way '.

    That would definitely be on the ledger of investigations, for sure, right Brazil? 🙄🤨

  22. The reports from the field are numerous and offensive: Men accompanying their wives or girlfriends to the polls and insisting on standing there in the booth or at the polling station, hovering, lurking and making sure they don’t vote for Kamala Harris.
